| dc.description.abstract | The approach to children with disabilities has significantly changed over centuries in response
to developments in law, religion, social norms, and science. Other key factors were
the changing views of European societies on children in general, an increase in sensitivity
to children’s needs, and the rising popularity of universal education. Gradually, due to the
influence of the Enlightenment worldview, disabled children started to receive not only regular
care, but also education. Generally, the treatment of people with disabilities in Europe
is moving toward complete acceptance of their rights, and creation of conditions that would
enable them to fully integrate with the society in all aspects of life. Additionally, in the case
of disabled children, there is emphasis on administering education in an open setting, and
entrusting the families with a significant role in the rehabilitation process. | en |
